Use taxpayer money to keep American families smaller.
That way the hordes of illegals and militant muslims can shift demographics in their favor even faster.

Anti-Science Guy Bill Nye recently almost broke the internet by introducing the world to a disastrous song and video featuring sitcom actress Rachel Bloom called "My Sex Junk." The song, about gender fluidity, lox, and bagels (yes, really), came from the new modestly-titled Netflix series Bill Nye Saves the World. But his most recent episode is just about as bad.
In the 13th episode of the season, titled "Earth's People Problem," Nye tackles a problem no one's been concerned about since the 1970s: overpopulation.
The 26-minute episode explained that educated women usually have fewer children than uneducated ones, that women in power have fewer children, and the fewer children there are, the more resources can be devoted to those children. All true. Then, the show posits that America's patriarchal society means that new mothers here are really bad off. Bosworth W. Hollingsworth, IV describes the show in the Federalist:
... women in India get 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, which is "unheard of in the United States." Never mind that here in California (home to roughly 20 percent of Americans), we have 16 weeks of guaranteed maternity leave as well. Also disregard the fact that the absence of a federal requirement for maternity leave does not mean maternity leave is nonexistent in the United States... Instructively, she approvingly lists China when she rattles off some of the countries that do have required paid maternity leave policies.
Yes, Chinese mothers have it so easy, when the government isn't forcing them to abort children that exceed their quotas.
Next, Nye hosted a panel discussion comprised of "Rachel Snow, chief of population development at the United Nations Population Fund, Dr. Travis Rieder, ethicist at the Berman Institute at Johns Hopkins University, and finally Dr. Nerys Benfield, director of Family Planning Montefiore Medical Center."
"What should we be doing?" Nye asks.
Benfield says health care and family planning are both important, and the panel nods approvingly. "We need justice and we need education," Snow said. Wait, what? Justice? For whom? The panel does not clarify what's meant by "justice," though Nye asks, "How do we create and export this justice?" Again, what's he talking about? Justice is not something you whip up in the lab: it's meted out, not concocted.
Snow says we can do this by creating "excellent education systems," and Rieder says children take up way too many of the earth's resources. That's when Nye asks, "Should we have policies that penalize people for having extra kids in the developed world?" This is when the show gets downright creepy. Hollingsworth describes the ensuing conversation:
Extra kids. These d-mn people and their existence, am I right? Nye (who, again, decided we all needed to see that abomination from Bloom) is wise enough to set limits on humanity. This whole concept and the ease with which he discusses it is so frightening and evil that I am genuinely appalled at Netflix's decision to air it.
Rieder says we should "at least consider" a form of punishment for people who have these Extra Kids (TM). Nye impatiently responds that "consider means do it." Snow, to her credit, jumps in and takes issue with the idea that "we do anything to incentivize fewer children or more children." Benfield notes the history of compulsory sterilization in America, a practice that was in place as recently as the 1970s. The issue was not come at from a position of justice in the past, she adds. But this time will be different, I guess?
So, if you're scoring at home, that leaves China's maternity laws and their recently ended one-child policy as the key points from this half hour of science televangelism.
Twitter responded accordingly:
Doesn't that make Rachel Bloom's "My Sex Junk" song seem virtually Puritanical by comparison?
Bill Nye is now officially an ordained priest of Leftism.
He calls himself a “science guy”. He has a degree in mechanical engineering and worked for about 12 years for Boeing before becoming a standup comedian. I have an engineering degree as does my daughter and that doesn’t make us scientists.
Bill Nye can ESAD. WHO is Bill Nye?
Bill Nye the Eugenics guy.
He is now officially in the same rank as Peter Singer, Margaret Sanger.
What next Bill going after extra parents, extra cousins?
I want to hear the stutter...uh...I mean the answer...
Well it is funny how the Left is quiet about population growth in the Third World, supposedly because they consume less resources than people in the Developed world.
But then they support immigration from the Third World to the Developed world, which will negate the effect of them consuming less resources since they will be here.
Leftists are retarded or brain-damaged.
“The song, about gender fluidity,”
Gender fluid. Isn’t that a by-product of sex?
This was an idea put forth by Robert Heinlein in the book Time For the Stars in 1953
Two charts showing population growth and catastrophic deaths over the centuries. This proves the ‘cycle’ of renewal is in God’s hands, not ours.

Of course, Muslims can have as many kids as they want.
Forgot to add:
Today it’s ‘penalize’ tomorrow it will be eliminate.
Bet Bill is for rampant illegal immigration.
The problem, Bill, isn't a world with too many educated white people. It is the billions upon billions of illiterate, unskilled third worlders that contribute nothing and have never contributed anything to the betterment of humanity beyond their ability to procreate, commit violence, and pick vegetables.
And vegetables will soon be picked by robots.
wait.... I thought we needed more people so badly we have to allow our nation to be invaded by 3rd worlders ? now we have to many people?
which is it?
If we need people... we should be encouraging those who can afford to have more children to do so! and stop immigration!
Bill Nye the Leftist Guy

According to the Ctrl-Left, we have to bring in illegals and others who specifically reject our values, our culture, and the rule of law - because there are not enough children for our society to survive on its own. Also according to the Ctrl-Left, we should penalize families that have children. If this keeps up, I might start to wonder whether today’s progressives are even sane.
And she would STILL beat the snot out of that pseudo-scientist Bill Nye!
Then move your commie a$$ to china!
There's just too darn many "Extra Kids" - mostly white and Christian...
Even with the abortion mills running night and day they just can't keep up with the overflow!

Or, any other identifiable group that needs to pass the time while on welfare. Many, many responsible working people delay children and limit family size because of cost.
